DRAGGED TO DEATH.
An Unknown Man While Stealing a hiie A>iiIed by anI \. ( F.
 EISisht IraIn.

Saturday evening, about 6,3o D. m. the body of an unknown man Was found lying in the middle of the track Jf tbe A. X D. road near the tool house in this town. He was immedi ately carried to the railroad bunk house and Dr. Brannen sent for who who upon his arrival proceeded to ex' anime the unfortunate. The Doctor was soon joined by Drs. Cornish and Olmstead, but the injuries received were of such severe nature that the physicians could ofJrd no relic! ex- cept to administer opiates to relieve the pain of the sufferer, who in about an hour expired. The body was terri ply mang!ed, the right les being nearly severed above the ankle, the right arm torn open from the elbow to the shoulder joint, exposing the bone, two lurge cuts above and be- low the left eye, one below the right eye, the fingers ofthe left hand being entirely cut off, and severe cut on the back of the head. A coroners jury was empdnneled, and number oi witnesses examined. A man by the name of John O'Brien, testified that himself and the deceased got on 10 the train about 5 miles from Bell mont, while 1t was in motion and that they were stealing ride to this town. From the appearance of the track near town, where blood was found for several yards It is thought that the deceased must have either tallen asleep and fell off the car, or from the jar of the cars have tumbled from the brake, where he may have been riding. The jury after consider ing all the testimony adduced, rem dered the following verdict. "rhat a man( (name unknown)abou 90 years of age, ,came to his death by falling under and being run over by freight train of the A. X P. railway, and that none of the employees of the company knew that he was on the tram.
 A post mortem examination was held by Drs. Brannen, Cornish and Olmstead, who found that death was caused by congestion and compress sion of the brain, and by the shock from the severe injuries received and loss of blood. The body was inferred in the town cemetery on Monday last.

A PRETTY LEGEND.
How White Horse Beach Received lis Name |
PoSfO Ginho

How White Horse Beach Received It's Name
Boston Globe.
Among the cottage settlements along
the Plymouth shore none has a greater
popularity than White Horse beach. It is
particularly favorite with Brockten and
Bridgewater people. There is legend
concerning the naming OF this locality
which rams something as follows:
Many years ago we'll TODD English
family emigrated to this country and set
tied in Plymouth, near what is now White
Horse Beach. The daughter of the
family, fair young girl, had lover in
England, to whom she was to be married.
The day for the wedding was set, the
bridal garments were prepared, and the
lover set sail for America.
Every day the maiden, mounted on a
white horse, would ride along the beach,
gazing seward with longing eyes. At
length came the news that the ship and all
on board were lost. The girl was pros
trated by the shock and became prey to
melancholy.
The day the marriage was to have taken
| place she donned her bridal fnery.
| mounted her steed and rode away, never
to return. 1t is supposed that she per-
| ished in the sea which had engulfed her
| hetrothed. At all events, so the legend
| has it, one night in the year, the ami.
| versary of that never-to-be wedding, a
beautiful girl, clad ia white, and sitting
on white horse, is to be seen on the
huge rock which rises just off the beach.
| and which is known as the White Horse
rock.

of the English railway companies. For
instance, the express trains between New

nine and quarter miles per hour, though
the track is almost level, while the ely

a considerable part of the distance be-

than that between London and Manches-
ter, which Is sometimss traversed at the
rate of forty-seven and three-ffths miles
an hour. This speed is, indeed only at

be called the 'liDaited mall" between New

PRANZINI AND HIS VICTIMS.
The Punishment of the Young American Girl
Who Wrote Love- Letters to Him.

The Punishment of the Young American Girl
Who Wrote Loye-Letters to Him.
I have been reading a good deal in our
home papers lately, writes Lucy Hooper,
respecting that wretched American girl
whose love letters were discovered among
the papers of the assassin Pranzini. The
authorities have acted with great and
commendable discretion in withholding
her name from the public. Yet her
identify will in all probability be reveal
ed sooner or later. If she is indeed, as
has been reported, a girl of respectable
parentage and good education, what
agonies she must have suffered. May
her fate prove a warming to all fair and
fast American damsels who may feel in
cllned to get up Irritation with any
handsome and plausible foreigner that
chance may throw in their way while
they are travelling in Europe There
are not many such, be it said for the
honor of our American girls who come
abroad, but the class does exist, though
OF exceedingly restricted dimensions. L
suppose 1T never will be known how many
women were killed by Pranzini in the
course of his career. The murders of
emI-moncalnes who were known to DOS
sess money or jewels had become fright
fully common in Paris within the past
few years, and there were points of re-
semblance between each and every crime
of that nature that seemed to connect
them with each other and with the triple
assassination of which the wretch has
finally been convicted. curious Incl
dent in this connection was recently re-
lated to me by one of the leading real
estate agents of Paris. He told me that
some months ago beautiful woman,
superbly dressed, and wearing large soli-
tary diamond earrings, came to his office
to make some inquiries about a suit of
arrangements she wished to take. She
concluded her business got into her car
riage, and drove off. Hardly had she
departed than coarsely handsome.
SLOWLY dressed man came in and asked
her name and address, stating that he
had been introduced to her at Vice some
months previously, and that he had for
gotten her name. "We do not give the
names and addresses of our clients to
anybody" was tho response. He did not
like the looks of the man, yet he was
struck by his snowy aspect and vulgar
comliness. A few months later took
place the famous triple murder, and
photographer near his own place of bust
ness displayed in his showcase a likeness
of the famous or rather Infamous, Pran-
zini. The real estate agent recognized
the portrait at once. It was that of his
unknown and inquisitive visitor, and this
refusal to tell the name and address of
his beautiful client probably saved that
lady from the fate that afterwards Def ell

Causes of Sudden Death.
Youths Companion.

The number of sudden deaths is large
perhaps increasingly SO, though the pop
ular impression may be false, since the
daily press and the telegraph have made
a neighborhood of the whole land
One source of sudden deaths is acct
dents, but many events pass under the
head of accid ents which might have been
foreseen and guarded against. Ameri-
cans, particularly, are apt to take great
risks; for example, in their eating, their
clothing, their building, in crossing rail-
way tracks, and in many other ways.
How careless we are! No staging need
ever fall, and it would not if proper care
were taken In the choice of material and
in construction. Think of the frightfuI
lists of deaths resulting from the use of
oil poured upon lighted fire to cause it
to kindle more quickly!
With many other causes of sudden
death, our own personal ills seem at
first sig hit to have almost nothing to do
There may be fatal break in the physi-
cal machinery at point where weakness
has not been suspected. The heart, per-
haps, becomes unnaturally enlarged, OF
its tough, muscular fiber turns to fat, and
suddenly there is mortal rupture.
Or the enfeebled heart fails to send
blood to the brain, and the man drops
dead in the street, or at his business, or
more fortunately, perhaps, in the midst
of his family.
In other cases there may be degenera
ton of the cerebral artery, and high liv-
ing, of glass of wine, Or an excitement
of passion, many arouse the heart to send
the blood to the brain with force too
great for the weakened arterial walls TO
Withstand. These walls give way at one
or more points, the outpoured blood
presses against the nerve centers, and
thus is cut off the necessary supply of
nerve force to vital organs. The man
falls unconscious, and within a few days
dies.
We have not space to speak Of other
causes somewhat similar, but in most of
them the weakness of the link at which
the chain breaks is due to over-exertion,
to too continuous brain work, to excuses
in eating and drinking, to passion, to
worry. The weak spot being ascertained,
the fatal result may be prevented for
years, perhaps indefinitely, by care
fully regulated life.

A Terrible Chinese Torture /.
San Francisco Post

The Foochow (China) Echo relates the
following:
A Tao.st prie.t is undergoing a dread
full torture at Foochow. At a place close
by the well known tea house on the road
to the city is to be seen man in cage,
with a cangue on his neck to keep him
standing on his toes only, and in this
position he will be left until relieved
by death. Upon inquiry we were told
that it was Taoist priest and the crime
he committed was that about fortnight
ago he put on woman's dress and went
into house where no one but newly
married young woman was left; he bold
ly informed the woman that he was her
aunt, and had come purposely to see her,
and of course the woman believing this,
nothing was left undone for the comfort
of the supposed aunt during the day.
At night the young woman offered her
room and bed to her aunt, SO they were
both in the room talking, when suddenly
the woman suspected that some mystery
existed. Showing no excitement she
told her aunt that she must go out and
get her clothing that had been left on the
terrace, and that she would come back
shortly. As soon as she got out she shut
the door and then went into the next
hease and called for assistance, when
at once a crowd of men rushed in and
then a large crowd of men rushed in and
arrested the man, and they found on his
person a pair Of Chinese daggers. He
was at once taken to the magistrate, and
is now In the cage to die that horrible
death.
